Bangkok, Thailand - A doctor told The Denver Post today he was treating John Mark Karr with hair removal in advance of sex-change surgery.
Dr. Setthakarn Attakonpan of Siam Swan Cosmetic Clinic in Bangkok said the suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey murder case first came to him March 9 for hair removal on his face, neck and cheeks.
"The reason he wanted to do hair removal was because he wanted to do a sex change," Attakonpan told The Post. "He told me he was in the process of medical treatment for cutting off his testicles."
Karr completed four treatments at the clinic, the last on July 24, medical records at the clinic show.
"He was concerned most about his sideburns," Attakonpan recalled.
The latest revelations come as another doctor in Bangkok fielded similar questions from news media amid reports he was also working with Karr on a sex- change operation.
Dr. Thep Vechavisit, who performs sex-change surgery for $1,625, told The Post he doesn't remember Karr and wouldn't say whether he was a patient.
Vechavisit, whose storefront Pratunam Polyclinic sits in the middle of the Thai capital's garment district, said he had read the news reports that Karr was one of his patients and was seeking a sex change, but Vechavisit denied he told reporters that.

Whad'ya mean...Hillary will make it mandatory!
Loreana Bobbit comes to mind . . .
"He told me he was in the process of medical treatment for cutting off his testicles."
Count two more for Hillary's Lock Box!
This wacko would not know a testicle if it hit him over the head. He is one strange weird criminal, regardless if he was involved in JonBennet's murder or not.........
Throw away the key and put him in the center of some terrible prison.
"...who performs sex-change surgery for $1,625..."
For some reason, I thought of Earl Sheib, and his low-budget auto painting.
There has always been speculation that he wants to get of Thailand and latching onto JonBenet is one way.
Very strange transfer methods L.A. has - his initial booking info last night said he was 5'7" and weighed 140 lbs, lol.
A few hours later and he's down to 5'6" and 135 lbs.
What else did he get cut off?
He pee'd out 5 lbs of champagne...
And lost some more hair in his balding spots, so I guess that would account for the inch off the top!
One "expert" stated that there were 13 points matching the handwriting. Usually he considers 10 points and over a match.
I saw that this morning on Today Show. I think they've got the right guy. Except, I don't understand why wife #2 claims he was in Alabama. I wonder, was the date of the murder on a weekend?
I have a wierd thought about this. If he is convicted and in prison, doesn't he have a 'right' to continue his treatment,preparation and eventually the surgery to change him into a woman? Wasn't there a case not too long ago where WE THE TAXPAYERS had to foot the medical costs for a prisoner who was undergoing a sex change. Please tell me I'm wrong about this.
Trust me, if it were United, even IF biz class, all he would have received was a lousy dinner, one or two stupid male-bashing comedy movies (maybe) and over-the-hill, bitchy, over-ordering flight attendents with PMS who crash their food carts into passengers without the slightest apology and loudly talk in the galley about their daughter-in-law's abortion in Des Moines, and this that and the other....
Yes! Not only that, he'll be safe in prison dubbed as a 'suicide risk' - translation, new girlfriend in the house, gotta keep 'er safe.
see my recent post. plus, he was in C class, not F onboard
My opinion as well and I'm not joking. He's a radical Lesbian trapped in a male body, radical enough to go after little girls.
He's one twisted sista.
Christmas Day in 1996 was on a Wednesday.
That was stupid on my part. Karr is a teacher - he'd have been on vacation anyway.
